Wireless, wi-fi, blue tooth,
the air is tangled with virtual cords in the remote fear
we may miss a call, a post, a text, and yet somehow
as we bring the world closer under the microscope
of life at the cellular level
we miss the real world as it passes
before our downturned eyes.

Technology, the two edged sword,
LOL – OL
A million apps and still we’re bored
LOL – OL
with an app, app here, and an app, app there
Here an app, there an app everywhere an app, app
My phone’s smarter now than yours
LOL – OL
Solutions to those problems that
LOL – OL
We never realized we had
LOL _ OL
with an app, app here, and an app, app there
Here an app, there an app everywhere an app, app
My phone is dead and I am glad
LOL – OL
I’m gonna get a simple phone
Plug it in the wall
And if I’m not right by its side
I won’t get your call
with a hap, hap here, and a hap, hap there
here a hap, there a hap, everywhere a happy hap
free at last from cell phone’s thrall
LOL – OL
